not WMDs

Hindsight but It's irrelevant. They had chemical weapons and lied about it to the world. They had a nuclear program which very well could have produced a bomb. Now we know they didn't have WMD. Again Iraq did have a vast amount of chemical weapons which could have been a danger to US soldiers, interests and allies. We did whatever deal that we did with Assad, that says a lot.

Not to mention Iraq DID have an abandoned WMD program in the 90s. Saddam bragged about the shyt.

But alas, here we are.

It's all hindsight. If we didn't go in we would never know. Hell we could be having the same conversation that we are about Iran.

Iraq took initial steps to fulfill its obligations. It drafted a plan to entomb the contaminated bunkers on Al Muthanna, which still held remnant chemical stocks, in concrete.

When three journalists from The Times visited Al Muthanna in 2013, a knot of Iraqi police officers and soldiers guarded the entrance. Two contaminated bunkers — one containing cyanide precursors and old sarin rockets — loomed behind. The area where Marines had found mustard shells in 2008 was out of sight, shielded by scrub and shimmering heat.

The Iraqi troops who stood at that entrance are no longer there. The compound, never entombed, is now controlled by the Islamic State.

Are you talking about the chemical weapons that were found and then hidden, because they were old and may have been produced in the United States?

Thats right.. The same weapons we handed them to use against Iran
